Finding Spirit in the Modern World

Card of the Day: The Journey

Good morning, everyone! In our area, we’ve had a lot of flooding and minor tornado damage from storm’s last night. To all of you affected, I hope you are all safe.

To everyone else, today’s card is serious but not bad. It’s this deck’s version of the Death card, and as we know, the Death card isn’t literal. Change is coming, but remember to be open to it. Blessings!

The Journey

Reading Points: It is time to face the inevitable to let the bones be laid bare and acknowledge the deepest aspects of your fears and desires. Do not fear change, because this is also a time of purification and realignment. This change may seem extreme and destructive, but old crops must be cleared for new growth to thrive and static or sterile modes and concepts must perish. A celebration of the past or an acknowledgment of the passing of one part of life may be required. Let the threads of the old slip from your fingers with joyful remembrance and enter this time of withdrawal and renewal with patience and calm.

Roots and Branches: the leap in the dark, the funeral of illusion, Wayland Smith, The dance of death, The Washer at the Ford and the Dark Mother, defleshing the corpse, purification by fire.
